Description

The Slip is the seventh studio album by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released on July 22, 2008. It was the fourth consecutive Nine Inch Nails release to be produced by frontman Trent Reznor with collaborators Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder. The album was released for free under a Creative Commons license, with the message from Reznor, "this one's on me". The Slip was initially released digitally via the Nine Inch Nails official website without any prior advertisement or promotion. A limited-edition, physical version followed two months later, though this iteration of the album was not free.The Slip was originally intended to be an EP, but eventually grew to be a full-length album. It was recorded and released in three weeks; Reznor released the album's only single, "Discipline", to radio stations himself, less than 24 hours after it was mastered by Moulder. Critical reception of the album has been generally favorable, and its unorthodox method of release attracted significant media attention. The album peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200.

Criticize criticize criticize So sick of reviews by idiots confined by society! Fans of NIN are more than happy to pay for music that we appreciate! Art is rare. But they also give you the option to be free with music as well, to do what you want without restriction

Trent kicks the insincere into the void again A true journey of the soul, I've had it on my phone for 6 days and it just gets better every play. The Marilyn Manson fans need not apply, Trent kicked his fakery out for a reason. This ain't Britney with a black wig for wannabe goths who think the roars are anger, this is strictly for those special souls who didn't necessarily pick their fate, it was destined by a force and being who guided them through for they knew sincerity and loss leaked from every pour. A perfectly floored Rock feast, buzzing!! ∆°

What? Umm, the Slip was free for download on the NIN website. I believe Reznor was trying to show that music files are not the death of the industry. Every so often, NIN will put out a freebie for us fans. What a classy guy!
